Do they follow their party's stated positions?

Rep. Jake Fitisemanu measured against the Utah House Democratic Caucus's 2026 priorities. The Utah Democratic Party's own platform (April 2024) states broad values with no planks a bill can be checked against, so Democrats in both chambers are measured against the House Democratic Caucus's 2026 agenda, the most specific one either Democratic caucus published.

Typical House Democrat: 100%.
